The Bardhan Fellowship
This annual research prize competition has been running for 20 years!
The purpose of this fellowship is to promote and acknowledge research by SPR’s and other GI researchers within Yorkshire. We also hope to promote presentation skills/confidence by allowing you an opportunity to present your data at a regional meeting prior to attending a more prestigious forum.
Any interested parties (for example, clinical assistants, nurse specialists, medical students, junior doctors or research fellows) are welcome to take part.
The fellowship is awarded to the winner in an open competition at an annual meeting within the Yorkshire Gastroenterology Calendar. It is hoped that the fellowship will enable the winner to attend a national/international conference.
The winner receives £500!
This wonderful meeting occurs in March annually and is of course a tribute to Professor Bardhan the ‘grandfather’ of gastroenterology in South Yorkshire. It is his inspiration and guidance which has led to so many of the developments here in the GI department. Read more about Prof Bardhan
